The Wind that Shakes Barley (Neridah Oostenbroek) for String Orchestra

This traditional Irish piece has been arranged for string orchestra and piano. Its slow introduction portrays the mist rising over the Irish hills before the piece suddenly breaks into an energetic reel. The melody is shared around the instruments and the easy violin part (which could be transcribed for the other instruments if required) allows students of all levels to participate in this fun work.
